Drawn primarily from the McNay’s outstanding collection of works on paper, this exhibition highlights the extraordinary creativity in 19th-century France, a time when we also rarely consider that printed images were subject to censorship laws—particularly between 1820 and 1880. In fact, some of this creativity was strategy to subvert and work around existing laws. The exhibition features critical images by Honoré Daumier and Édouard Manet in the context of prints made by their peers and later artists. The latter group includes Pablo Picasso, José Clemente Orozco, José Guadalupe Posada, who were inspired by how artists such as Manet and Daumier dealt with government censorship and used caricature to make protest art. In addition, more recent works by activist Guerrilla Girls and Donald Moffett add a contemporary lens to the presentation.

"Do Not Meddle With It!!: Print Censorship in 19th Century Paris" is organized for the McNay Art Museum by Elizabeth Kathleen Mitchell, Ph.D., Curator of Prints and Drawings.

Support is provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992.

O’ Powa O’ Meng—”I came here, I got here, I’m still going”— is how Jody Folwell describes, in her Tewa language, her personal journey with pottery. A contemporary artist from Kha’p’o Owingeh (also known as Santa Clara Pueblo, in New Mexico), she is among the most significant and influential clay artists of her generation. Across five decades of artistic practice, Folwell has revolutionized contemporary Pueblo pottery with energetic, avant-garde innovations of form, content, and design that have influenced younger generations of Pueblo potters. This exhibition presents iconic works that demonstrate the arc of Folwell’s trailblazing career and place her within the canon of contemporary American art.

"O’ Powa O’ Meng: The Art and Legacy of Jody Folwell" is organized by the Fralin Museum of Art and the Minneapolis Institute of Art. Major support for the national tour and exhibition catalogue is provided by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Curator-in-charge at the McNay Art Museum is Lauren Thompson, Curator of Exhibitions.

Support is provided by the Elizabeth Huth Coates Charitable Foundation of 1992; the Flora Crichton Visiting Artist Fund; Ewing Halsell Foundation, Louis A. and Francis B. Wagner Endowment; and the William Randolph Hearst Foundation.
